Hi guys, I'm still chasing this and can't find anything on either the Zerosports or G88 website - does anyone have a link where to buy?

Keen for that, pending cost.

Spoke to G88 - they can get the gear boot with red stitching but it's around $80. Considering unpicking the thread on mine and re-sewing as the leather is in perfect condition.
As for the gear knob, they only have the JDM pink gear pattern and STI logo; not the one with white/silver pattern which is what I'm after. They're also around $180 which seems pretty steep!

Not from G88 - I don't think they're listed on the website (or I couldn't find them)

Can't find any decent pics of a leather gear boot online - most are either fake carbon fibre/leather, cheap grainy leather (buffalo?), alcantra.... or worse, PU leather like this awful example:
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product ... 29881.html

And the bulk of boots advertised say they're for 5MT (not sure if there's a difference?)

As for gear knobs however, this is the red/red one I believe G88 have which is a Subaru original part: http://www.subaru.com.au/sti-performanc ... gear-knobs
(scroll down to pic #6 / last pic)

And this is what I want: http://www.autoevolution.com/images/new ... dium_3.jpg
(I believe this is off a JDM WRX STI tS, and also on the S402 Legacy STI)

There is also an all red knob which looks alright, and I think from newer WRX STIs: http://image.motortrend.com/f/features/ ... r-knob.jpg

But for around $260 for both the knob and boot I'm leaning towards adding a STI sticker and getting some red thread! :lol:

I believe I have read something on here that a member got these re upholstered in suede.
Look nice but can't remeber by whom.
